Turpin Distribution – Open Access Services

6th August 2013
PRESS RELEASE - FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -

Turpin Distribution is delighted to announce the introduction of its new Open
Access service for managing Article Processing Charges (APCs).

A major vendor in the journal fulfilment market for over 40 years Turpin has
supported its scholarly publishing clients with new services as the journal market
has evolved, embracing new technologies.

The Turpin system can manage all the complex administration surrounding
processing charges and payment collection including; single author; multiple
authors with allocations; third party advanced payment reconciliation; and
copyright status sharing to identify just some of the major servicing capabilities.
All transactional information is reported back to the publisher via the Turpin Web
Reports Portal providing up to date information 24/7.

Lorna Summers, Managing Director of Turpin said “I’m extremely pleased that we
are able to continue supporting our client publishers with new services to meet
the changing demands of the market. We are already working closely with our
clients to provide solutions for the efficient management of Article Processing
Charges (APCs). Turpin looks forward to assisting publishers in controlling their
OA administrative burdens such as billing and reporting so clients can continue to
focus on the creation and dissemination of intellectual property.”
